Washington DC (SPX) Sep 09, 2009Four months after the success of Apollo 11, NASA launched Apollo 12 in November 1969. Almost exactly 40 years later, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has seen the landing site. Engineering and safety constraints in place for these earliest manned lunar missions dictated landing Apollo 12 at an equatorial site on a flat lava plain (known as maria on the moon). NASA selected a site near ... more

Washington (AFP) Sept 1, 2009Two US astronauts on Wednesday completed the first of three spacewalks scheduled for the space shuttle Discovery's nine-day mission at the ISS, removing a massive coolant tank. With the help of the station's robotic arm and guided by shuttle Commander Rick Sturckow and spacewalk choreographer Pat Forrester, the duo removed the bulky - albeit weightless in space - liquid ammonia coolant tank from the ISS truss. A new, 800-kilogram replacement will be installed during the second spacewalk late ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Sep 02, 2009After nine weeks of intense lessons, robotic and rocket competitions and rubbing elbows with NASA scientists, industry experts and entrepreneurs, students at International Space University (ISU) Space Studies Program (SSP) 2009 and Singularity University (SU) shared their final evening together and participated in their university's closing ceremonies on Friday, Aug. 28, 2009 at NASA's Ames ... more  
Pasadena CA (SPX) Sep 02, 2009The Dawn mission remains on course as the spacecraft continues to thrust with its ion propulsion system, patiently, persistently, and gently changing its orbit to keep its appointment with protoplanet Vesta in two years. Meanwhile, closer to mission control and in stark contrast, brave firefighters work hard to protect JPL and the nearby homes of many of its employees and others in the community ... more |
